               19.    All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
                      Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to
                      existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
               20.    Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
                      road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed
                      driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring. Trenching is not permitted,
                      unless specifically approved by Council.

                              streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation
                              of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service
                              authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these works.
                      Earthworks and Retaining Walls
               24.    All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
                      on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development.

                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               30.    Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
                      Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
                      to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
                      taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
               31.    Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
                      measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such
                      fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
                      Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
                      system or adversely impacting on other properties. The sediment and erosion control design
                      and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is
                      responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
                      a.      Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
                              practise" methods;
                      b.      Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
                              projected construction schedule and/or methods;
                      c.      Been revised to address predicted rainfall events; and
                      d.      Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
                      Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
                      found inefficient.
               32.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                      standards * (Refer to Advisory Note).
               33.    The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
                      extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
                      conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
                      to rainfall occurring.
               34.    The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
                      properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
                      machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
                      measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
                      pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
                      contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
                      drainage system or waterways.
               35.    Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, all site surfaces must
                      be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
                      and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term. For the
                      purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that does not, or
                      is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or gully erosion or
                      lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
                      Damage to Services and Assets
               36.    Any damage caused to existing services and assets as a result of the development works
                      must be repaired at no cost to the asset owner at the following times:
                      a.      where the damage would cause a hazard to pedestrian or vehicle safety, immediately;
                              or
                      b.      where otherwise, upon completion of the works associated with the development.
                      c.      Any repair work which proposes to alter the alignment or level of existing services and
                              assets must first be referred to the relevant service authority for approval.
